Game 050 [Voice/Action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ While leaving out a mug of coffee, mostly-filled, might seem to be a weird thing to do in remembrance, regardless it's what Joshua does as he goes about cleaning the downstairs floor of his house, the space previously known as Kat's Kradle.

Without any real reason to keep more than the cooking area clean, he hadn't. Dust coats many of the tables and forms sometimes-impressive piles in the corners. Today, despite the rain, Joshua has the front door of House 38 wide open, and he can occasionally be seen sweeping piles of dirt outside.

It's rather cold, but Joshua doesn't seem to mind it. At least it's keeping him from working up a sweat. It's a bit late for a new year cleaning, but at least he's getting around to it at all, right?

Every so often he takes breaks to check on his journal, which he left the following question on earlier in the day: ]

How many of you learned things here that you're not looking forward to having to learn again when you go back to your own worlds? Your own death might be the obvious one, but I mean things like, say, some truth about your world, or friends, or family as well. Anything you'll need to find out again if you forget this place.

...that's not the point. You still hardly ever do.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Which means any attempt to get an honest answer out of me is not necessarily pointless!

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Once out of all the other times is pointless.

[...why is he even arguing about this. EVEN THIS IS POINTLESS.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Just because I won't give you more examples doesn't mean they don't exist. Maybe you've just missed them.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

The fact I even have to try to decipher the parts where you're honest is whack.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Really? I'd call it entertaining, myself.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Ugh. Fine, if you want to play it that way then good luck getting an answer from me.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Hee hee. While we're on the subject, how was making up for missing Shiki's birthday? [ The subject of "things which won't get answers", of course. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

What about it? Maybe I have some moves.

[...yeah, he can't believe he just said that either.]

[action] 1/2 also lol keywords...

[neverplaysfair]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Sorry, Neku. Josh is laughing. ]

[action] yes. yes he has been training

[soundfrequency]

Sh-shut up!

[Hey, maybe he does have some moves. NOT LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Care to share with the rest of us?

[ No, he's mostly remembering the more awkward stages of young Neku's life. Like getting The Talk. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

[........oh god. Don't ever tell Neku you know about that.]

You mean just tell you? Now why would I do that?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Oh he will, one day. Maybe.

Joshua giggles. ]

Are you going to show me, then?

[ ... You really walked right into that one, Neku. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

[Snort. You wish.]

Don't you ever get tired of hitting on me?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

I like to think of it as teasing. So no.

[action]

[soundfrequency]

It doesn't work anymore so I don't know why you even bother.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

Would you rather it worked?

[action]

[soundfrequency]

Which part, getting me annoyed or the teasing being successful and getting me to reciprocate?

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

I was thinking more getting you riled up.

[ As much as horniness hopes otherwise, he is still not okay with sleeping with Neku. ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

No thanks. Maybe you're just getting too rusty.

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

...

[ Sup Neku. How's about a Joshua moving up into your personal space and trying to get a nice little bite on your neck? That worked rather well last time... ]

[action]

[soundfrequency]

[You know what, you do that. NEKU IS UNFAZED.

Okay there might be a little twitch because you're biting his neck, but. Mostly not reacting.]

[action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ And Joshua pulls back with a giggle. ]

Ooh, you are getting better.
